Rep. Wexler On Fox & Friends

[kuso4u]

1:45 - 1:51 oh really!!

[AlyBlack]

I am so sorry to say that this guy is from my district and I HATE him. I voted against him and I will continue to tell him off.

[LocoYoFla]

I hate Wexler too, and I'm a Democrat!

He doesn't even live in our district, he just uses a family member's address in a retirement community for voter registration.

I know we have better Democrats who could run in our district than this comedian-wannabe.

[hXcsXeHector]

fox is fair and balanced. That's why they put up a digital thing that the guy can't see which says "fire breathing liberal.... ....blasts back"

[plzwhine]

I LOVE how Eskow knows what works with these crazy foxers:qQuestion their patriotism in an over-dramatic, over-zealous, way.

It doesn't matter that their opinion may have some validity or that you know someone is just misdirected but wants to do good. On Fox, you just have to be a arrogant, superior mother-fucker to be called "correct."

Libs should really listen to Eskow before they go on Fox.

[bengraham21]

robert wexler is not an embarrassment to the Jewish community. Joe Lieberman is an embarrassment to the Jewish community.

[GstateBALLER925]

um yes, ahmadinejad is a nutcase, sure, but there are even bigger nutcases on fox noise channel. so whats your point?

[TheDalinkwent]

Has anyone caught the Fox news argument on torture? whenever the goverment is accused of torture by a guest on Fox news, the pundits call the assertion out of line and untrue, but then moments later, they turn around and defend the use torture saying liberals are too soft on criminals, so if accusing our goverment of torture is a nasty far-left attack, but if they did use torture its ok if it means defending our rights?

[TheDalinkwent]

Has anyone caught the Fox news argument on torture? whenever the goverment is accused of torture by a guest on Fox news the pundits call the assertion upser

[IsisStarlights]

They hit the nail on the head! Go TYT! Go Robert Wexler!

[benhur55]

Robert Wexler is an embarrassment to the Jewish community.

In my book any Jew who votes for this idiot is a Terrorist. Why? Because they are contributing to the decayed moral state in America that believes nothing is worth war.

He is wasting time with impeachment hearings while the largest financial crisis in our history was brewing. Did he ever vote to reform the corruption in Fannie and Freddie? Consider that he represents many retirees but has not commented on the financial crisis.

[anotherdefault]

It's accully a rather brilliant political move on Wexlars behave to lead this. Wexlar is known for being agaist bush because of it.

It's gotten him on national news that he REALLY dislikes the guy the 80% of the natoin dislikes.

He runs in the most liberal state desritct of florida, so being liberal is the best way to get him releccted.

[donald741]

two talking assholes. amazing

[ribaman858]

Right...and these two are the "fair and balanced" ones. The problem in America is we only have two parties calling the shots in this country...Dumb and Dumber. How can anything be changed when the Red wont approve anything the Blue wants...and Vise Versa. Why cant there be a good Independent canidate to come in and swoop everyone off their feet. Hell...Bring back the Whig party. I'll take that over the Red or Blue any day.

[hXcsXeHector]

Probably because if some person came in on a third party with the best plans you ever heard no body would give him press and nobody would vote for him because he's not a democrat or republican. Stupid systems.....

[webovisionca]

Bush IS the terrorist. Put him and Cheney in Gitmo before they close it down for f@ck sakes!!

[patsagainstrats]

Robert Wexler = Fraud

Wexler doesn't even maintain a residence in the state he supposed to representing, Florida.

The hack lives in Maryland, but cites his mother-in-law's home--in Florida--as his residence.

In light of the scandal, Pelosi will probably make the slouch Wexler the chairman of the House ethics committee.

[alrazi3]

did he say we beat the soviets.. when was that war?

[truthofevolution]

errr... cold war

[padude64]

Al Quada was not a threat until after we went into Iraq!

You republicans need to understand one thing and that is, Incitement is very easily created in the middle east and now if MCcain gets in office, we will be at war for more than 100 years!

[Nurple]

you know that the south will never go for abolishing slavery, why are you even bothering with this nonissue

[cooolandy]

I disagree Wexler is up their with DK for patriotism. Wexler is the main man. Also the reason I still have faith in Obama, Wexler is his top supporter. Obama is playing the game.

[mmm413]

Does anyone know the names of these jokers on "Fox & Friends"? They certainly aren't journalists. Who the hell are they? In the last 7 years? What about the anthrax attacks?

[Desnoxvu]

jOHN MCCain's ad scares meh!

[atomicpuppet]

Wexler stood strong.

These Fox dudes were trying to tear him apart with there view, which I agree is distorted.

They would be willing to take it in the ass from the government if the government said it was valid and the ONLY WAY. ha.

[technicschic]

Jed - interesting take on the War Powers Act - but it's never been challenged, and I don't think it really will be. The President will not challenge it because it allows him to put troops into hotspots with just a resolution and not a declaration of war. Congress will not challenge it because it allows them the ability to remove the resolution and require the President to remove troops

[jtilak]

he should have called him a coward to his face and asked him why he hates the constitution

[jedberten]

4. The only real question in my mind is, are the Turks trying to accomplish something good for America? Or are they just playing a Marxist role in keeping America divided into separate, and more manageable camps?

[jedberten]

3. Right there is a clear violation of the separation of powers. The Constitution calls for no 'collective judgment', only a 'declaration' by the citizens representatives. The purpose of the Constitution is to delineate powers.

As such the law is unconstitutional and those who passed it, and tolerate it, are all impeachable. Surely Wexler and his lawyers know this, and the fallout if it was pursued.

[jedberten]

2. The US Constitution states plainly:

'the Congress shall have the power to declare war'

The congress didn't. They created a law, the 'war powers act'

SEC. 2. (a) [of this act says in part]

"....and insure that the COLLECTIVE JUDGMENT of both the Congress and the President ....."

[jedberten]

1. OK Turks, I've been critical of you, now I'm trying to help you.

The collective arguments of both sides is a smokescreen to keep the truth from us.

[10aces]

R.J. Eskow, hmmm. Can't wait to see you on FNN.

[10aces]

I want to see that. Can you imagine a FN anchor being called a coward on their own broadcast? Fantastic! Make it happen.

[jedberten]

Rep. Wexler who is Jewish supports H.R. 1185, The Holocaust Insurance Act of 2007.

This act will give Holocaust survivors access to U.S. courts for legal actions against insurance companies, those claims have already been denied by European Courts

If passed, who do you think will actually wind up paying for this scheme? The insurance companies? Initially, but in turn, they'll increase our rates to make up for the loss of income.

[SlapEveryJew]

Oh shut the fuck up. Fox news is just as biased as CNN, MSNBC and whatever other channels I forgot, they're just slanted more towards the right than to the left. People can't deal with that, if it's not slanted to the left it's somehow unfair. Liberalism and Conservatism are both legitimate beliefs and news channels have a right to slant one way or the other. They do it all the time. Nearly all news is slanted left. just shut the fuck up. Fox news is more balanced than most news stations.

[SlapEveryJew]

They have people from both sides talking over each other (which is annoying to say the least).

[WorldBFree2006]

Fox isn't just slanted to the right, it's become a total water carrying network for the fringe right.

[Nominay]

The only thing CNN is biased towards is business and corporations and ratings. That's their ideology - nothing else .. not liberalism, etc - but suit yourself and your selective reality.

[alrazi3]

you speak the truth every time someone speaks up against liberals they get flamed. liberals just run the media and then they deny it when they get called out

[ManufacturedThoughts]

Fox News is the voice of the Nazi Party.

[actiscenei]

Eskow is right on point here. He should face these Fox "anchors" (read: dead weights) head on.

[ClunkityClunk4Truth]

I love how the anchors act as if they're counterterrorism experts and Wexler is just some shmuck.

[sollycardy98]

what liberals don't get is that the Bush administration isn't a failure, it was one of the biggest successes in the history of the republic for the government. How else to you explain the administration having more power then any before?

[ClunkityClunk4Truth]

'How else to you explain the administration having more power then any before?'

Having more power=success?

Well, success at what exactly?

[jastheswift2]

al qaeda = CIA

[ClunkityClunk4Truth]

Butter = Cheese

See? I can be nonsensical too!

[ManufacturedThoughts]

CIA = Corporate Bullies

[Wendy62]

That is incredibly stupid. The Founders set up our government so the Executive WOULDN'T have all the power. It's successful to shred the Constitution?

[SmileOnADog]

Fair and balanced? I guess not.

[HelpLadyLiberty]

the only problem I have with librals is there usualy anti-gun, the MT gov. is a pro-gun Dem.

[okpspades]

I'm starting to like these guys.

[VoteLib3rty]

Great video. Agreed - these FOX cowards need to be outed as such. They promote destroying our constitution and freedoms. "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

[DillonX]

FAUX -- FAIR AND BALANCED? MY ASS!

FAUX just supports the war machine & those who benefit from it.

FAUX SUCKS!

[osiris33]

RJ Eskow is soooo right.

[OmarAlQaseer]

I agree. Wexler's delivery was kind of weak sauce, but Eskow got it 100% right.

[ranchosx]

Republicans are cowards!!!! Some things are more important than living.....like freedom

[PoliticalFix]

the most important fact here is 9/11 happened on bush's watch. the republican argument is always that there hasn't been another terrorist attack since 9/11.

well... iraq got attacked after 9/11 and now over a million people are dead. most were civilians, most were women and children.

the media never reports the casualty figures for iraqi people, and i find that very disturbing. we are all made out of the same stardust. what ever harms one of us harms us all. tv news is a totally retarded insult.

[garylandy]

now we have two enemies: al quaida and the government :((((

[VoteLib3rty]

Don't forget the Central Bankers and the Media! :)

[DillonX]

Conservatives used to talk about the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!

Now some of the neo-cons, like the nutcases on FAUX, wanna take a match to the UNITED STATES CONSTITION.

I'm a Republican who supported Ron Paul--BUT I'LL NEVER VOTE FOR MCCAIN.

I'll support Barr or Barrack or Baldwin or maybe even Nader -- but NEVER EVER will I support McCain.

[SatwaMan]

Eskow is right, to tell them they are unpatriotic Americans is the way to go.

[septentrionale]

Not yet, though. The only way we can get people on the right track is by playing to win, like Wexler does, have pride in our politics, and be caring and appealing.

~s~

[SapphireOrchid07]

Conservatives talk about how the only way we can win this war, which is unlike any other war, is to give up some freedoms to protect ourselves from this new kind of threat. But it is precisely when we give up our Constitution when we lose. No attack can ever create as much damage as abandoning the principles this country was founded on. That is what the terrorists hate and that is what they are attacking. By trying to fight them like this we truly and utterly lose.

[BarryNC]

Little smug bastards. Fuck Fox.

[Katwagner55]

Yes, Wexler was. Steven made him say "I like cocaine because..."

[studio7manga]

Dems are pussies, they want to play softball on a hardball show.

[canucksfan94]

Is this the representative who was on the Colbert Report?

[theheat151]

Yea he was. He was also the one ridiculed for for the skit he had on the Colbert Report where he said we a "coke-head" or something knowing it was a joke.

[movieguystarraisin]

We have to stand to those who want to destroy the constitution and our freedoms...

[mtf10]

I'll agree I'm a bit dissapointed by Wexler's tepid response. This is the fire-breathing libral? This is the guy that says coke is a fun thing to do on national television but he can't call the bullshit when it's staring him in the face.

I will give him this though, I'd have punched that guy right in the face, so at least he showed restraint in that regard.

[agenstuall85]

why is there a john mccain ad on the side of my screen

[gembuyer]

Choose:

Freedom or

Bad Taste.

At least the McCain campaign is wasting thier money here. Not fortifying the religious right closed mind robots.

[TheGiantRobot]

Because he doesn't have the brightest people on his team.

[norbu2006]

I really like this RJ Eskow guy. I want to grow up to talk truth like him. Also, I like how he talks truth about journalistic cowardice and the consensus trough.

[swaggajee]

RJ, I couldn't have said it better myself!! They are cowardly and pathetic Americans that I don't respect.

It's just like Ben Franklin said: Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

That makes all those against the Constitution and our Bill of Rights a bunch of pussies who should be booted out of our great country.

[jastheswift2]

al qaeda = CIA

[vibrohm]

RJ is great great great

[asdffd]

I heart RJ.

[voyzovrezon]

If we give up our freedoms, will the terrorists stop hating us? That's why they hate us, right? LOL

[TheGiantRobot]

You're right. Wow, I underestimated Bush all this time. He's brilliant.

[padude64]

Bush sucks!

[HugeJohn51]

R.J. is the man...wow. Good answer on the what he would have said.

[Encyclopeteia]

Yeah, Fox News is incredibly fair and balanced. And by fair and balanced I mean ridiculously right wing. From "terrorist fist jabs" to hiring Karl Rove and Mike Huckabee, it doesn't get any more biased than Fox. Great clip guys, keep up the good work.

[daderone]

agreed, it is not only pathetic but disturbing and disgusting

[TheYoungTurks]

Wexler really is the man, and he will be on theyoungturks(.)com in early July.

[ngarey]

Wexler's the man.
